WAYS TO PARTICIPATE
There are three different ways companies can participate:
Individual Organization: Companies with a single Federal Employer Identification Number (FEIN) or Business Number (BN) may register directly.
Parent or holding company: A parent organization with one FEIN/BN for all subsidiaries must register using that number and include all employees employed by it.
Subsidiary organization: Subsidiaries of parent or holding companies with different FEINs/BNs may register separately. If a subsidiary has multiple locations operating under the same FEIN/BN, all locations must be included in the survey.
WHO TO INCLUDE
Include: When you participate, all of your current full- and part-time permanent employees working in North America should be included. This means everyone, from the line-level employees all the way up to the executives and from the on-site workers to remote employees. If they physically work in North America or work remotely and report to a supervisor in North America, include them.
Exclude: Temporary, seasonal, per diem, 1099 employees, independent contractors, interns, volunteers, consultants and employees sourced by other staffing entities.
